UNDERMORPHINE - Lost In Translation DEMO - Thechockehold

Description : Hej eveyone!
For the first time in my career I am really satisfied with drum tracking quality and overal drum mix. After switching to passive pickups I decided to give JMC800 one more chance, it isn't my dream guitar tone, but I am ok with it (Mesa Grid Slammer stomp used as overdrive). Dingwall NG3 bass into Darkglass Alpha Omega 900 head. Piano parts recorded on SCHIMMEL KONZERT280 grand piano placed in Finnish National Opera and Ballet.
Let me know your thoughts!

Wow, you got access to some amazing gear and locations :D that would mean nothing if you wouldn't have the talent, the skill and the musicality, and you have that in spades.
Yours is one of those tracks where I like saying: it's not my style but I love hearing it because it's so well done. Kudos!

Hej, Rått. Impressive tune. As the Stanley Cup playoffs are getting deep here in Canada I could hear this tune used as a highlight reel song on Hockey Night in Canada, which is a real honor here. I really like how you use the bass line to anchor minor 7th chords on the guitar strums and picks to really create the gravitas and raw meat of the tune. And the breakdown with the piano was sublime and so tasteful. I really enjoyed my listen tonight both as a punter and as a musician for two entirely different reasons. Well done.

Man, absolute madness. It immediately put me in a trance. I might have wanted to hear the drums clearer somehow, but that may be due to my headphones or just my listening habits - but it works great either way! And what superb guitar work. A non-stop full service!

Good metal track. I see what you mean by the guitar tone. It has a certain "unwanted fatness" that I think you were trying to get with of with passive pickups. I don't use active pickups because I beat the hell out of my Gretsch (on medium strings).

Try using you distortion only as the compressor. Also, you can turn down the volume just a hair and that will act as a false compressor.

Also, post cabinet emulators might be your best friend.

Remember, it's not the gear, it's the ear. A good guitar player can improvise a solo with a piece of wire and a broken bottle, to the delight of an audience.

Obviously faved, metal/rock of this quality is super rare here.

Tnx fro kind words? means a lot. Yeah its never about the gear. At the begging this project was all about blast beats and hardcore brakedowns and all of my needs were overed by Soldano head, decimator stomp and couple OD pedals. But then, when you decided to consume satan little less often and add some nuances to your music it all has begun. Changing Oranges and Marshalls searching for IT, while trying not to buy some BOUTIQUE bs head is a stuggle. Thanks again!

Description : I continue the hybrid procedure of creating music. This is a relatively recent song of mine that after the in DAW processing it was used as a prompt with certain guiding choices to AI machine. What was produced was di novo imported into the DAW to be blended with the original recording. It ended to a long music piece which I believe can be of interest to the listener. I hope you will enjoy this listen. I think Rocking Ambient describes well the genre.
